Which button allows the talker to communicate freely without depressing a transmit button?

Explanation:
Hot mic lets the microphone stay live, so you can speak and be heard without pressing a transmit button. This means you can communicate freely as soon as you speak. Push-to-talk requires actively pressing a button to transmit, so you can’t speak without that action. The call button starts a contact or channel, not continuous voice transmission. The mute control silences the microphone, preventing any speech from getting through. So the hot mic is the option that matches the described behavior.
